10 Current-Day Music Artists You Should Definitely Be Listening To
3. Billie Eilish
"My mommy likes to sing along with me / But she won't sing this song / If she reads all the lyrics, she'll pity the men I know."
What can you say about Billie Eilish that hasn’t been said before? She’s currently one of the hottest and youngest stars in music today, and she seemingly came out of nowhere. Only 17 years old, Billie’s lyrics focus on teenage angst, mental illness, heartbreak, and love.
Her style of music and her choice of aesthetic offer a new coat of paint to the dull genre of pop music. It's no stretch to compare her to Nirvana’s meteoric rise to superstardom in 1991 with “Nevermind,” as her album “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?” has dominated the Billboard 200 since its release in early 2019.
Though she may seem like a household name by now, it is worth mentioning that Billie Eilish is still young and still a rising artist, meaning she has plenty of time to develop her craft and become the very best version of herself. Pawning her off as an established pop star is committing an injustice to yourself and Eilish, so stay tuned to how she progresses in the coming years. You can listen to Billie’s new album as well as her hits on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, and wherever music is sold.
